In the study, a man's cold voice sounded with no distinction between joy and anger.
The secret guard lowered his head and knelt on the ground: "Yes."
Zhan Beihan sat behind the desk, tapping his fingertips on the table, making a slight clicking sound.
The atmosphere was extremely calm.
After a while, Zhan Beihan's cold voice sounded: "What else did she say?"
"This is what I heard. After the concubine was scared away, Shen Wan left." The secret guard answered truthfully.
"Is Ye Yi back?" Zhan Beihan asked again.
"The leader has returned."
"Let him come to see me!" Zhan Beihan ordered directly.
"Yes." The secret guard respectfully stepped back.
Not long after, Ye Yi, dressed in black and dusty, walked in and knelt down on one knee: "I'm here to see you, Your Majesty."
"Get up and answer." Zhan Beihan looked at him with sharp phoenix eyes, "How is the investigation of Shen Wan's details going?"
"My subordinates found the village of Nanyang Houfu in the countryside. After investigation, they learned that Shen Wan was indeed sent to Zhuangzi when he was three years old, and was watched by the Zhuangtou couple since childhood. Because of the indifference of the Nanyang Houfu, Regardless, Shen Wan is nominally the master of the village village in the countryside, but in fact he is a slave to the village head couple. His life is very hard! Works such as washing, cooking, cutting firewood, and feeding pigs and sheep are all difficult. Shen Wan did it alone, and it has been like this every day for more than ten years without interruption. Many local villagers can testify to this."
Ye Yi reported calmly, and couldn't help but feel a little pitiful for Shen Wan.
She is obviously the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, but she has been abandoned and raised in a village in the countryside since she was a child. She is also bullied and made things difficult by the slaves in the village, and her life is not as good as that of a common girl in the village.
The Nanyang Marquis Mansion even ignored her and abandoned her for more than ten years.
Because of this, it is no wonder that "Shen Wan" harbors resentment towards the Nanyang Marquis Mansion and cannot show the slightest emotion.
Zhan Beihan slightly narrowed his sharp eyes: "She did a lot of farm work in the village?"
"Yes, according to the information obtained by my subordinates, the slave family in Zhuangzi bullied Shen Wan and left all the chores to her. Shen Wan has been forced to work since she was a child. According to the villagers, she has a silent personality and is not very He loves to talk, but he is very nimble in doing things, and he is well-known in the village for his diligence."
"Ha!" Zhan Beihan laughed.
He remembered the time when he and "Shen Wan" had a fight, he remembered it very clearly.
There are no obvious scars or rough marks on "Shen Wan's" hands. Instead, there are tiger's mouths and a thin layer of calluses on the fingertips and other places. Judging from the position, it does not look like someone who has been working with farm tools all year round, but like someone who has been working with farm tools all year round. It is the cocoon of practicing sword and weaponry.
In addition, there are also traces of thin calluses on the side of her middle finger.
This happens only to people who often write with a pen.
"Did Shen Wan learn to read when she was in the countryside?" Zhan Beihan asked coldly.
"No!" Ye Yi replied firmly, "My subordinates have asked many villagers, and they all said that the people in Zhuangzi deliberately bullied her. She usually wore old clothes, lived in a woodshed, and didn't even have enough to eat. , it is absolutely impossible to teach her how to read with kindness!"
The real Shen Wan is a person who can't even write his own name, and he has a silent personality and doesn't like to talk.
However, "Shen Wan" who returned to the Hou Mansion not only had a completely different personality, but also had thin calluses on her hands left by years of writing and practicing martial arts. Popular ""
